Hakuouki SSL OVA

Well, you see...I'm a Hakuouki addict and I am just thirsty for more episodes that I desperately scavenge for them. I am happy to know that to date there have 2 special ova released. First OVA is simply called Cat OVA and the second one is Sweet School Life. If I'm not mistaken a game have been developed for this and today I am here to talk about this SSL OVA and the basic storyline for the school life Hakuouki.

Here's the OVA. It's a shame it's only 4 minutes long with no voice overs. Just sound effects and lots of midi music but it's enjoyable though. I will be doing a poor attempt at deciphering this silent movie here so bear with me. If you cant watch it in my blog just click on the video itself and it will bring you to the YouTube channel where it loads better. Should the user have removed this video, just type SSL OVA in the search tab and you will have plenty. =)



 Okay, from what I see is this. I may be wrong so don't count on me so much.

Heisuke and Chizuru are seen running. Obviously rushing because they are late for school. Heisuke still had toast bread hanging in his mouth as they were running Heisuke told Chizuru told hold his hand so they could run faster and oh! Guess who held Heisuke's hand instead? Yup, a wild Okita appears! Kinda like a creeper don't you think? @@; Some conversion ensues and Okita grabbed both Heisuke's and Chizuru's hand they soared in the wind. I suppose they reached school soon after because they were seen held at the gate by the very obvious prefect/disciplinary committee players by Hajime Saitou and Nagumo Kaoru. I am not sure if Kaoru in this OVA should be her brother or just someone who happen to look like her.

Tension arise as both Okita and Saitou banter in whether or not let these three in the school compound. When Heisuke whispered something to Chizuru, a wild Hijikata appears!!! Chizuru is stunned by his...er...beauty and we see his famous sakura petals falling about him, hair waving in slow motion and Chizuru staring at him like an idiot. Just then, the discipline/prefectoral committee decides to close the gates and let these 4 people stray at the gates. Seeing Hijikata-san humiliation, Okita took out his camera and took a picture of him. XD

Later, an assembly is seen. Okita stood out with his brown wool uniform when others were wearing green jackets over them.

We briefly see Harada, Nagakura, San'nan-san and oh, Hijikata-san(how did he get in @@;). I can safely say they are the teachers of the school.

Kondou-san is seen wearing a blue tuxedo and is obviously the principal. He seem to be announcing something and at this point ominous music ensued and we see Kazama and his gang approach the assembly mike and gave a short speech. Now here is what baffled me. Chikage said something that stunned the whole crowd, and Kyo Shiranui seemed to have panicked in what he have said. We see him thinking about 2 boys holding hands...so I am REALLY interested to know what Chikage had said to the assembly. His uniform seemed to be different. In fact, the 3 demons wore different clothes altogether! Chikage was wearing this white uniform so can we say he's a senior exchange student? Kyo was wearing casual sports attire so he might not be a student...definitely not a teacher so wth is he? Amagiri was wearing a fully black uniform with a bandana and armband so what is he then??? @@;

After the assembly, Hijikata is seen stomping though the hallway with students looking at him curiously...he first tried to reprimand Harada who seemed to be slacking and running about in the school. I can just hear Hijikata screaming "Kisama, nani o ishiteru???" and Harada escaped to a another corner of the school(major LOL here!). Later he sees Kondou-san practice his kendo techniques. Hijikata reprimands him as well for being so slack.
Then he sees Nagakura who seems to be doing Sudoku instead of attending classes. Hijikata is on the brink of exploding when he sees a notice that I think was written to make fun of him by some truants in the school.

A wild Saitou appears(!) and seemed to mend something in the notice and Hijikata stood chastised and Okita yet again took out his camera and captured another of Hijikata-san's humiliating moment for the day.

One thing for sure, there is never a dull moment in that school!

So the big question is...since the 4 older characters are teachers in this OVA, one would wonder about their subjects they teach. Well, I have come up with several theories.

Kondou san - principal
Hijikata - Economics, History or Literature teacher
Harada - History or Math
Nagakura - He's in sports tracksuit all the time, he's the PE teacher?
San'nan-san - seemed to wear a lab coat so I'm guessing Science Teacher.
Saitou: - committee member
Okita - 2nd year student
Chizuru, Heisuke, Kaoru - first year students.

Kazama and gang - I am still confused.

BUT FEAR NOT, MY PRETTIES!!!

Using my supreme researching skills I have found out some vital thing and I am much surprised by the result!

From Otomate Staff Blog 2009/12/25

Kondou: Principal. Owns a small kendou dojo.
Hijikata: Vice principal, also teaches classic literature. Lives near Kondou's place.
Sannan: School nurse and accountant. Mysterious in many ways.
Shinpachi: Math teacher. Surprisingly learned. Loves horse. But eats horse sashimi too.
Harada: P.E. teacher. Collage classmates with Shinpachi.

Okita: 2nd year. Has been studying in Kondou's dojo since he's little.
Saitou: 2nd year. One of the discipline committee. BTW discipline committee uses the science lab as their headquarters since they can't get along with the student council.
Heisuke: 2nd year. Childhood friends with Chizuru, but that's it (they're not dating).
Yamazaki: 2nd year. One of the health committee.
Chizuru: 1st year. The only girl in Haku Academy. Childhood friends with Heisuke. Is worried about her crooked brother.
Kaoru: 1st year. One of the discipline committee. Chizuru's twin brother. Adopted since birth so their have different family names.
Kazama: Head of student council. Was classmates with Hijikata. Always walk in the very middle of the hallway. Very disturbing.(BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It is these Chikage's little quirks that makes him so lovable!)


Oh my goodness...I got most of it right! But Harada is the PE teacher??? But Nagakura is the one wearing PE attire!!! Oh well....at least the mystery of Kazama and his gang is solved. So he's an admin in the school then. =D


Inoue: Head of Inoue Constructions. Also in charge of the school cafeteria.
Shimada: School janitor. Gentle and powerful. Has a passion for sweets.
Ito: Music teacher. Talent is violin. Is well known for making squeaking and hysterical sounds.





O-sen: Student of Shimabara Girl's Highschool nearby. Chizuru's close friend. Thinks Chizuru is having a hard time being the only girl there so keeps inviting her to transfer.
Kimikiku: Home economics teacher in Shimabara Girl's Highschool.Served O-sen's family for generations.

*Age setting in SSL has nothing to do with Hakuouki.



Haaa....writing this post have been most pleasurable and yes, I am very happy about how Hakuouki is evolving over time! <3
